privacy-classification PrivacyClassification

Privacy classification for a B2C product. Aggregates the regulatory flags and store-compliance signals that drive age-gate logic, ad-targeting policy, and store-listing content ratings. Scope: one per product (or per tenant for single-product shops). Lives at `legal/privacy-classification.yaml`.

Fields

Field Type Required Description
as_of IsoDate yes Effective date of this classification.
coppa boolean yes Whether the product is subject to COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, US, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506). True iff the product is directed at children under 13 or has actual knowledge that it collects personal information from children under 13.
gdpr_kids boolean yes Whether the product is subject to GDPR-K (Art. 8 GDPR — children's data). Member-state minimum ages range 13–16; see `gdpr_k_minimum_age`.
id PathRef yes PathRef of this record (conventionally `legal/privacy-classification`).
admob_category_filter string? Google AdMob content-filter category (e.g. `"G"`, `"PG"`, `"T"`, `"MA"`) or the strictest category when multiple surfaces are served.
age_gate AgeGate? Structured age-gate configuration, when one is applied at sign-up. `None` means no age gate exists (e.g. B2B products where authors explicitly declare the audience is adult-only by contract).
app_store_content_rating string? App Store / Play Store content rating (e.g. `"4+"`, `"12+"`, `"17+"`, `"Everyone"`, `"Teen"`, `"Mature"`). Values depend on the store and rating body (ESRB, PEGI, USK, CERO).
gdpr_k_minimum_age integer? Minimum age used for GDPR-K parental-consent branching. Default is the strictest EU member-state threshold (16). Tenants operating in member states with lower minimums may override.
notes string? Free-form notes (e.g. "COPPA-safe because behavioural targeting disabled at the AdMob account level for the under-13 surface").
policy PathRef? PathRef to a `legal/policies/*.yaml` privacy / children policy that encodes the public-facing prose.
product PathRef? Product the classification applies to (PathRef to a `product/*.yaml`). Optional for single-product tenants where the mapping is implicit.
related_decisions PathRef[] PathRefs to BDRs that rationalise the classification (e.g. `governance/decisions/0011-coppa-posture`).
